ELECTRODE CONTACT COMPOSITION Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: therapeutic cosmetology. SUBSTANCE: invention provides electrode contact media in the form of gel, paste, or creams for performing electrodiagnostics and electrotherapy as well as electromyostimulation, defibrillation, and electrosurgery. Water-based composition contains, wt %: water-soluble ionic polymeric thickener 0.5-2.5, polyatomic alcohol mixture 0.5-9.0, alkali metal chloride 0.1-3.0, and may further contain emulsion wax 0.1-6.0, monoatomic alcohol 0.1-7.0, polyvinylpyrrolidone 0.1-0.7, preservative 0.02-2.0. EFFECT: improved electric conduction in combination with low resistivity (impedance) and minimal polarization effect, avoided dryness and irritation of skin, and achieved easiness of removal from skin and electrodes. 8 cl, 2 tbl, 7 ex
